Hi all. Is there any alternative to pinterest?I mean like, for sharing art and seeing art ofother people?But not fucked by ai, meta, google etc.Something kind of... low appeal to the public.I don't want to use the word "underground",but I hope you can get it anyway.
>>7954683Deviantart
>>7954683the last time someone made a thread like the only "alternative" that actually approximates what pinterest does and allegedly had no ai, was just a site that rips images from pinterest and it had ai images on it. If all you care about is sharing and seeing art without AI and it being a somewhat small community, then cara is literally what you're asking for verbatim. Whether it's a good site or not is up to you. I personally think it just puts a target on your work to be scraped by AI faggots that have nothing better to do, but it's nice to know if someone is caught definitively using AI they get instabanned.
Different people use different sites so instead of you putting all your eggs in one basket, use multiple sites.
There's nothing like Pinterest and there won't be for the foreseeable future. It's like Tiktok...when people made an alternative because Israeli interests the alternative was just pro Palestine spam. And you can forget about the chink alternative because you'll get spammed CCP propaganda day in and day out with wumaos constantly reminding you that Chinese people pity you that your society is not like theirs. Pinterest is the best thing you have even with AI. It recommends good shit.

>>7953350i've seen your name on bbw-chan. i don't know if it was you or just someone reposting your work though.
>>7954978I haven't posted there in a while, desu. But I don't mind, it actually makes me smile when people like my works so they save and repost them.
>cave dwelling nig drew this 30000 years ago and still mogs my permabeg assAnd some motherfuckers here will tell you it's all about effort
>>7954770>but grug too strong to die in falling>grug sad
>grug ask why only those who draw tribe priestess with big bosom get note from other grug
>>7954749they drew 1000 cubes of course, we just haven't found the cube caves yet. There is no other way to learn how to draw.
>>7954763>too poor to afford copicThat's so sad. We should really invent time machines so we can send money to the past. No Grug should be without a copic.
>>7954638if there were good artists, females would be impressed by then so kragg would get jealous and break his arms or cover up the paintings.
Hi anons i hope you all doing well btw here's a silent comic I've did in 6 days to challenge myself feel free to criticize so i can improve thank you page 1
>>7947078dude please stop bumping this thread its really annoying.
>>7950743You know by responding to this threadYou're bumping it Stupid 4 threads died because of your stupid reply
>>7953362>You know by responding to this thread>You're bumping it>Stupid...
>>7858687the silhouette in the 6th panel is unintelligible >>7858689the first page makes it seem like someone is gonna watch the tv alone>>7858690not immediately obvious that the character aged up>>7858701its clear she's pressing up against the glass but its pretty badly drawn>>7858719very low emotional impact, i would rework this page, just two tiny flashback bubbles, really?Other than that its good
It really does feel like some faggot is just constantly bumping this thread for kicks. There's always just one post just before it dies, and nothing else, beyond people complaining about the thread being bumped again (like this post).
How much am I supposed to pay attention to studies as a /beg/ I started drawing like a month ago I want to make progress as quickly as I can but every single video just feels like "draw a circle, then finish the rest of the fucking owl. Buy my course btw"I don't want to be hardstuck as a /beg/ but these studies just look impossible to even begin with
>>7949663>>7949647If this sounds like too much, don't overthink it. The goal for you is to get into the habit of drawing. Consistency is half the battle.Here's what I recommend after a month of line/shape/form prep:>you do some simple step by step tutorials from websites aimed at kids or from YouTube videos. This will help you with the basics of construction and perspective.>do blind contours and gesture studies of photos from line of action (or any timed drawing site for that matter)Then for studies of whatever subject you're interested in, just follow what I laid out in the above post. For my own regimen, it's something like this:>draw my subject from memory several times from various angles>collecting references, then doing some quick blind contours and gesture studies before breaking them down into shapes and forms>observing the references, then hiding them and drawing from memory (then drawing while looking at them)Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7949697>>7949663After you do this for a couple of months, you're going to move on to copying from fanart, pop art, and movie shots rather than just photographs of animals or people or landscapes/buildings. If you want to develop your style, pick a few artists to copy extensively and blend their stuff together.
>>7949647You need to draw what you enjoy too. Like 50%. DaB guy also says this.
I brute forced for years without doing reference training, even made some okay progress but when I tried doing some studies for different things like form/gesture/anatomy I realized that I could have gotten some realisations I had in a quarter of the time. IMO the hardest part about learning art is that you have to know what you need to learn, what is important to practice etc. How can you decide which kind of study would work for you if you don't even know what you are lacking? That is where I found books to be usefull. Depending on the book you will get to know what there even is to know and only then can you start to learn efficiently.Doesn't mean you can't make it without them, I'm talking "optimal" practice here
>>7949647Drawing circles is stupid, you should try drawing the general base shape and getting that rightTo get better quick you should practice in different ways
Howard Blast made Orkastle.
looks like shit. hire an artist
>>7954793Literally who and literally what? Buy an ad, faggot.
How true is this? I see it repeated by online figures and teachers a ton. Is it really a waste of time to worry about your art style being "right" and what you want or is it just another /beg/ trap that you only realize is horrible advice when it's too late?
>>795134250/50, part of it comes naturally but you also have to make conscious choices about it
>>7951362When some beg talks about "finding their style", those are the ones who are truly ngmi
>>7951342Learn the fundies first, before thinking about style.Style is an advanced concept.
3 years drawing and dont really have a style im happy with yet. i think it comes to some people quickly and others slowly shrug
Unless you literally only train copying other artists comic art by symbol drawing the shapes 1:1 you will get your own quirks and preferences when drawing
>2026What is your first official (meaning you drew + finished it 100%) work of the New Year?Mine's is pic related
>>7939628Are we talking about a single statue, or many? If it's on a larger scale, it'd probably be better look at plastic mold injection rather than 3D printing. If you only want one, or very small batches, then 3D printing is the way to go. As far as I'm aware, there quite a number of places (even some public libraries) that do 3D printing on such projects - whether it's a single piece, or a small number of prints. They may do larger numbers, but again, it'd be more cost effective to look at Plastic Mold Injection at that point.As for quality of the final output, just read reviews, or if you ARE doing a large batch, make sure they give you test copies that you can look at and judge before actually going to production - which should be done regardless of the type of project; you wouldn't want a printing error ruining your comics for example.
>>7849206Yes
>>7952276POTENTIAL
>>7952284>>7952536Thank you! I've been very inconsistent with drawing over the course of the last couple of months due to obligations and shit, so I draw whenever I have some free time.While I do treat art as a hobby and I do see somewhat improvement the more I've started drawing years before, I still feel like I haven't been able to get that stiffness out of my artstyle. That and I really want to improve my coloring as well. You guys have any tips on how I can get better?
>>7948270damn thats fine
How can one learn to draw similar to Araki's art style? I love JoJo's bizarre adventure a lot and I want to learn how to draw like that but my drawing is awful very bad is here any hope for me
>>7953112>Apparently this is what his very first attempt at oneshot manga at age 21 in 1981His very first PUBLISHED oneshot. Not attempt.>Araki drew his very first manga while he was eight years old in fourth grade, which was when a childhood friend complimented the composition of his art.>Araki began submitting work to publishers during his first year at Tohoku Gakuin Tsutsujigaoka High School.[30] However, all of his submissions were rejected.>[...]he made his debut in 1980 with the aforementioned one-shot Poker Under Arms. When his debut manga was accepted, he decided to pursue a career in manga instead.This content comes from JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia (https://jojowiki.com), and must be attributed to its authors if you are using it on another wiki or web page, as specified in the license.Dude was submitting manga for years before anything got published. It's a similar story for a lot of the pros: they had many failures before their eventual success.
>>7953212he did think how to draw in Tetsuo Hara's style so you can also start with copying Araki
>>7952837>Araki used to be quite possibly the highest skilled mangaka in the industry The delusion of Jojofags must be studied
>>7954700>Tetsuo Harathat guy is just drawing his best to draw Sylvester StalloneOP should just go to the source and draw Sylvester Stallone
>>7954732I mean sylvester does look good, he looks more like a hero than arnold and thats saying a lot.
We had successful threads for black history month and women’s history month so how about another for pride month? Celebrate, discuss, and share queer art here.

>>7954580don't you guys have a drawthread on /lgbt/? go back
No thanks
I really want to draw and post NSFW art but I can't since my gf and some family members follow me on my art accounts. I feel like I'm trapped and chained in a SFW hell where nothing ever gets enough interactions.
>>7952527Then you have made a choice to suffer
>>7952527Damn you stupid. You had a better argument on art style lol
>>7952527Why don't you make an account with the same username on some noname site that normies would never touch like gelbooru or pixiv
>>7952499Your gf and your parents have already seen YOU naked, why would they care negatively about whatever anime character you draw naked.
>>7952499dumbass
Is Atsushi Ohkubo a good mangaka to emulate as a beginner artist if I want to base off my art style on his own or should I pick someone with a more semi-realistic anatomically correct art style? I already draw from life often and just started picking up loomis and such for basic figure drawing
>>7954182post your work
>>7954185Here's a quick failed attempt at a dynamic pose after a year of not drawing (but still trying to get back on it despite everything) c:
>>7954182I think his art is way too stylized to just copy and learn from it, especially Soul Eater. It is never bad to imitate to learn, though. And it might be fun to draw pages of his manga or his illustrations.But you will need to supplement with other studies, specially anatomy. /asg/ has and /beg/ have a bunch of materials.
>>7954335My ideal would be someone who still draws in a similarly cartoonish and stylish art style but still has master tier fundamentals and overall realistic and detailed anatomy. Another artist I would love to study from but could also be regarded as too stylized in the same way is Rui Araizumi
>>7954191Okay now try more than literally just once. And try finishing it this time, gabe.
I HATE this stupid websiteI HATE that everyone is on it but I can't get on it!I HATE that codes are hard to get, oooh we want to keep out the scammers my ass, it's either 1% chance you get a code in a giveaway or you have to do some stupid shit to get a code, people literally make you do free art for them just to give out these damn codesI"M A BROKE ARTIST! I make no money, Ko-fi is dead, everyone flocked to Vgen but I can't get in.I could be taking comissions right now. I could be making money, but instead I've been trying to get a fucking code for months just for the POSSIBILITY TO MAKE MONEY!I HATE VGEN!!!!
>>7952965not him but i don't blame you at all. if i lived in a third world country i'd be doing the same.
>>7952890True. Happens in way more than just drawing commissions.
>>7950611I got in without a code, they just saw my following number on twitter and let me in, this was before the site officially launched so I guess they needed some people to appear legit
>>7953377That's awesome. I'm happy for you. Can you help me get a code?
>Stripe bans me from selling even sfw commissions because I draw nsfw on my own time>vgen gets to continue to exist as an official Powered By Stripe partner with nsfw everywhereThe blatant double standard favoritism is why I stopped using it
gimmick thread, any level of effort, open for anyone who wants to have a couple minutes of silly art fun/warmup/whateverfill in the previously dropped shape, then post the filled shape and any random unfilled shape in the same reply. Get creative!
>>7950458 (Me)>BumpWas this shape too hard for you motherfuckers? You can't see ANYTHING in it?!

i have no idea why but i saw a bird and a slipper
How do you get over ugly art? Every time I draw, I see the result I'm in pain. I downloaded more than 10 books on figure drawing alone. 10! I can't even copy right! Am i ngmi?
>>7949253I tried. I spent 3 hours fixing to make this as close as possible.>>7948022I really like the blob. Do I have the permit to take it, anon? >>7950498Just downloaded the book of Stephen Silver. I'll keep that in mind.
>>7950614in technicality, as retarded as it sounds, you will always be a beginner or rather should be, constantly learning and striving for mastery. stay hungry, anons.
bump
>>7947593>I downloaded more than 10 books on figure drawing alone. >10!Haha, Rookie numbers! I thought I'd just check my art books, and I have about 150. Granted, I do study through them, unlike some hoarders, but I somehow doubt I'll really go through all of them.Though it's nice knowing that if I want to study a particular thing, whether painting, sculpting, or anatomy, I have the info at the ready.
>>7950766its your blob
